In preparing for her first film role as a petite, hard-laboring slave in "12 Years a Slave," actress Lupita Nyong'o sized herself up against 500 pounds of cotton, which her character Patsey picked every day.
The film itself is considered a heavyweight Oscar contender, having won widespread praise for its brutal depiction of pre-Civil War American slavery. "12 Years a Slave" is based on the 1853 memoir of Solomon Northup, a free black man tricked and sold into slavery who cannot fathom the hell he has landed in on Louisiana plantations. He is played by British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Nyong'o's performance one that has generated critical acclaim for the Hollywood newcomer and predictions she will earn a best supporting actress Oscar nomination.
Patsey has the unfortunate lot of not only being a slave but also the object of love and sexual desire of her master, the cruel and conflicted Edwin Epps played by Michael Fassbender.
Nyong'o was born in Mexico 30 years ago (hence the Mexican name Lupita) where her Kenyan father was in political exile, but they moved back to Kenya when she was 1. She was educated in the United States and was graduating from Yale University's School of Drama just as she prepared her first-ever audition tape for McQueen's film.
After a grueling audition with a Hollywood casting director, Nyong'o then auditioned in person for McQueen in Louisiana. He called her the next day.
"He said 'Hello, this is Steve McQueen and I would like to offer you the role of Patsey,'" Nyong'o told Reuters.
"My knees grew weak and I sat on the pavement and I said 'I'd like to accept the role of Patsey,'" she added.
Nyong'o admits to being "very" intimidated by the experience and expectations of her director and fellow cast members and was thinking that any day she would get the call saying there had been a mistake.
But she had six weeks to prepare and set about reading accounts of slavery from the female perspective and visiting museums to get a three-dimensional idea of what life on the plantation was like. She had both a script and an autobiography to learn about Patsey.
Patsey is a complex character, lofty yet vulnerable, a woman who looks like a child, a productive superhuman treated like an animal. Many of the film's most wrenching scenes involve Patsey being subjected to unspeakable physical and emotional torture.
"There was an underlying stream of grief at all times even in the lighter scenes," Nyong'o said. "There is a deep pain in Patsey throughout and living in that pain was not easy."
In the week before filming began, Nyong'o found herself daydreaming about Patsey and wondering what she would have done with the very little free time she had.
She conjured up the idea of making corn husk dolls for little girls on the plantation. After Googling to confirm that it was historically accurate, she learned how to do it herself.
"There was always something very childlike about Patsey for me because I know she had been robbed of her childhood by her master taking an early sexual interest in her," Nyong'o said.
She said McQueen used the doll-making to show the part of Patsey that could not be enslaved.
"That was really powerful for me," Nyong'o said. "In playing her, I learned that you don't have to live a day free to know what freedom is."
"12 Years a Slave" opened in the United States on October 18. Oscar nominations are announced January 16, 2014.

Queen of Katwe is the colorful true story of a young girl selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion. Directed by Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) from a screenplay by William Wheeler (The Hoax) based on the book by Tim Crothers, Queen of Katwe is produced by Lydia Dean Pilcher (The Darjeeling Limited) and John Carls (Where the Wild Things Are) with Will Weiske and Troy Buder serving as executive producers.

Her mother, Harriet (Nyong'o), is fiercely determined to take care of her family and works tirelessly selling vegetables in the market to make sure her children are fed and have a roof over their heads. When Phiona meets RobertKatende (Oyelowo), a soccer player turned missionary who teaches local children chess, she is captivated.

As Phiona begins to succeed in local chess competitions, Katende teaches her to read and write in order to pursue schooling.

Twelve Years a Slave

Twelve Years a Slave is an 1853 memoir and slave narrative by American Solomon Northup as told to and edited by David Wilson. Northup, a black man who was born free in New York state, details his being tricked to go to Washington, D.C., where he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Deep South. After having been kept in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana by various masters, Northup was able to write to friends and family in New York, who in turn secured his release with the aid of the state. Northup's account provides extensive details on the slave markets in Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, and describes at length cotton and sugar cultivation and slave treatment on major plantations in Louisiana.

Globe

A globe is a three-dimensional, spherical, scale model of Earth (terrestrial globe or geographical globe) or other celestial body such as a planet or moon. While models can be made of objects with arbitrary or irregular shapes, the term globe is used only for models of objects that are approximately spherical. The word “globe” comes from the Latin word globus, meaning round mass or sphere. Some terrestrial globes include relief to show mountains and other features on the Earth’s surface.

There are also globes, called celestial globes or astronomical globes, which are spherical representations of the celestial sphere, showing the apparent positions of the stars and constellations in the sky.

Terrestrial and planetary

Flat maps are created using a map projection that inevitably introduces an increasing amount of distortion the larger the area that the map shows. A globe is the only representation of the Earth that does not distort either the shape or the size of large features– land masses, bodies of water, etc.

Slavery

Slavery is a legal or economic system in which principles of property law are applied to humans allowing them to be classified as property, to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. While a person is a slave, the owner is entitled to the productivity of the slave's labour, without any remuneration. The rights and protection of the slave may be regulated by laws and customs in a particular time and place, and a person may become a slave from the time of their capture, purchase or birth.

Today, chattel slavery is unlawful in all countries, but a person may still be described as a slave if he or she is forced to work for another person without an ability on their part to unilaterally terminate the arrangement. Such situations are today commonly referred to as "practices similar to slavery". The present form of the slave trade is commonly referred to as human trafficking.

Slavery existed before written history and in many cultures. It was once institutionally recognized by most societies, but has now been outlawed in all countries, the last being Mauritania in 2007. However, it continues through such practices as debt bondage, serfdom, domestic servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work as slaves, child soldiers, human trafficking and forced marriage. Accordingly, there are more slaves today than at any time in history, with an estimated 20 million to 36 million slaves worldwide.

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita Amondi Nyong'o (Kenyan English:[luˈpiːtɑː ˈɲɔːŋɔ]; born March 1, 1983) is a Mexican-Kenyan actress and film director. She was born in Mexico to Kenyan parents, and raised in Kenya. She attended college in the United States, earning a Bachelor's degree in film and theater studies from Hampshire College.

Nyong'o started in the film industry as a production assistant on several Hollywood films. In 2008, she made her acting debut with the short film East River and subsequently returned to Kenya to star in the television series Shuga (2009). In 2009, she wrote, produced and directed the documentary In My Genes.

Queen of Katwe is the colorful true story of a young girl selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion. Directed by Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) from a screenplay by William Wheeler (The Hoax) based on the book by Tim Crothers, Queen of Katwe is produced by Lydia Dean Pilcher (The Darjeeling Limited) and John Carls (Where the Wild Things Are) with Will Weiske and Troy Buder serving as executive producers. The film stars Golden Globe® nominee David Oyelowo (Selma), Oscar® winner and Tony Award® nominee Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave) and newcomer Madina Nalwanga.
For 10-year-old Phiona Mutesi (Nalwanga) and her family, life in the impoverished slum of Katwe in Kampala, Uganda, is a constant struggle. Her mother, Harriet (Nyong'o), is fiercely determined to take care of her family and works tirelessly selling vegetables in the market to make sure her children are fed and have a roof over their heads. When Phiona meets RobertKatende (Oyelowo), a soccer player turned missionary who teaches local children chess, she is captivated. Chess requires a good deal of concentration, strategic thinking and risk taking, all skills which are applicable in everyday life, and Katende hopes to empower youth with the game. Phiona is impressed by the intelligence and wit the game requires and immediately shows potential. Recognizing Phiona's natural aptitude for chess and the fighting spirit she's inherited from her mother, Katende begins to mentor her, but Harriet is reluctant to provide any encouragement, not wanting to see her daughter disappointed. As Phiona begins to succeed in local chess competitions, Katende teaches her to read and write in order to pursue schooling. She quickly advances through the ranks in tournaments, but breaks away from her family to focus on her own life. Her mother eventually realizes that Phiona has a chance to excel and teams up with Katende to help her fulfill her extraordinary potential, escape a life of poverty and save her family. Disney's Queen of Katwe will open in U.S. theaters on September 23, 2016.

Proof You're a Slave & Earth is Flat

Lupita Nyong'o Discusses Painful Role In "12 Years A Slave"

In preparing for her first film role as a petite, hard-laboring slave in "12 Years a Slave," actress Lupita Nyong'o sized herself up against 500 pounds of cotton, which her character Patsey picked every day.
The film itself is considered a heavyweight Oscar contender, having won widespread praise for its brutal depiction of pre-Civil War American slavery. "12 Years a Slave" is based on the 1853 memoir of Solomon Northup, a free black man tricked and sold into slavery who cannot fathom the hell he has landed in on Louisiana plantations. He is played by British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Nyong'o's performance one that has generated critical acclaim for the Hollywood newcomer and predictions she will earn a best supporting actress Oscar nomination.

In preparing for her first film role as a petite, hard-laboring slave in "12 Years a Slave," actress Lupita Nyong'o sized herself up against 500 pounds of cotton, which her character Patsey picked every day.
The film itself is considered a heavyweight Oscar contender, having won widespread praise for its brutal depiction of pre-Civil War American slavery. "12 Years a Slave" is based on the 1853 memoir of Solomon Northup, a free black man tricked and sold into slavery who cannot fathom the hell he has landed in on Louisiana plantations. He is played by British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Nyong'o's performance one that has generated critical acclaim for the Hollywood newcomer and predictions she will earn a best supporting actress Oscar nomination.
Patsey has the unfortunate lot of not only being a slave but also the object of love and sexual desire of her master, the cruel and conflicted Edwin Epps played by Michael Fassbender.
Nyong'o was born in Mexico 30 years ago (hence the Mexican name Lupita) where her Kenyan father was in political exile, but they moved back to Kenya when she was 1. She was educated in the United States and was graduating from Yale University's School of Drama just as she prepared her first-ever audition tape for McQueen's film.
After a grueling audition with a Hollywood casting director, Nyong'o then auditioned in person for McQueen in Louisiana. He called her the next day.
"He said 'Hello, this is Steve McQueen and I would like to offer you the role of Patsey,'" Nyong'o told Reuters.
"My knees grew weak and I sat on the pavement and I said 'I'd like to accept the role of Patsey,'" she added.
Nyong'o admits to being "very" intimidated by the experience and expectations of her director and fellow cast members and was thinking that any day she would get the call saying there had been a mistake.
But she had six weeks to prepare and set about reading accounts of slavery from the female perspective and visiting museums to get a three-dimensional idea of what life on the plantation was like. She had both a script and an autobiography to learn about Patsey.
Patsey is a complex character, lofty yet vulnerable, a woman who looks like a child, a productive superhuman treated like an animal. Many of the film's most wrenching scenes involve Patsey being subjected to unspeakable physical and emotional torture.
"There was an underlying stream of grief at all times even in the lighter scenes," Nyong'o said. "There is a deep pain in Patsey throughout and living in that pain was not easy."
In the week before filming began, Nyong'o found herself daydreaming about Patsey and wondering what she would have done with the very little free time she had.
She conjured up the idea of making corn husk dolls for little girls on the plantation. After Googling to confirm that it was historically accurate, she learned how to do it herself.
"There was always something very childlike about Patsey for me because I know she had been robbed of her childhood by her master taking an early sexual interest in her," Nyong'o said.
She said McQueen used the doll-making to show the part of Patsey that could not be enslaved.
"That was really powerful for me," Nyong'o said. "In playing her, I learned that you don't have to live a day free to know what freedom is."
"12 Years a Slave" opened in the United States on October 18. Oscar nominations are announced January 16, 2014.
